The application discloses a synthesis method of
quinolinic acid, which comprises the following steps: (1) using a halogenated
pyridine derivative as
raw material, performing a
Grignard reaction with a
Grignard reagent solution to generate a first intermediate; (2) performing a
carbonylation reaction on the first intermediate with
carbon dioxide to obtain a second intermediate; and (3) performing an oxidation reaction on the second intermediate with an
oxidizing agent to obtain a product
quinolinic acid, and the specific reaction is shown in the following formula, wherein X is
halogen, R is C 1‑3
alkyl or cyano, and R1 is C 2‑4
alkyl. The application provides a new method for preparing 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (
quinolinic acid), which uses a halogenated and
alkyl-substituted or cyano-substituted
pyridine derivative as
raw material, performs a
Grignard reaction with a
Grignard reagent, then performs a
carbonylation reaction with
carbon dioxide, and finally performs
hydrolysis to obtain the product 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (quinolinic acid). The synthesis
route has the advantages of mild reaction, easy operation, safety and
environmental protection, and convenience for large-scale production.
